Capcom’sStreet Fighter IV“Championship Mode” update was slated to hit Xbox LIVE and PlayStation Network on April 24. Capcom delivered the goods as expected. I was in the office the Monday morning after, so I decided to toss out aminor PSAabout the DLC hitting both consoles. It didn’t go so well. I encountered a small problem that morning: I could only confirm that the Xbox 360 version of the content had hit, and oddly enough, the update had turned into a full on Marketplace download dubbed the “Power Up Pack....

Here’s the debut trailer forSilent Hill 8(working title), featuring the first solid details we’ve seen of this latest installment in the horror franchise. The trailer was shown during E3’s press conference but not properly released. Now you get a proper HD look at it. It doesn’t look like an FPSas rumored, nor is it the anticipated remake ofSilent Hill 2.Instead, it stars a convict who just so happens to be passing through everybody’s favorite semi-sentient ghost town when things go wrong....

I had really high hopes forSiren: Blood Cursebefore its release, but the odd feeling of playing episodes of a television show turned me off in the end and I did not finish it. However, that issue clearly did not bug everyone, as it was given quite a few favorable ratings, but I’m sure some horror fans are unsure whether or not to pick this one up. Thanks to a tip over atSiliconera, we discovered that you can nab a hard copy of the Asian version of the game,Siren: New Translation, fromPlay-Asia for $24....

So, last week Sega hyped up some big news concerningSonic the Hedgehog 4, only to let us down by announcing a delay and the iPhone version that everybody had already predicted. Lame. This week, however, those looking forward to the portable version at least got a bit of cool news, with Sega stating that it’ll get two special stages. These unique levels will make use of the iPhone tilting controls, which might indicate that the controversial mine kart level has been removed from the console game and stuck here instead....

Most multinational corprations are in business for themselves, andonlythemselves, which is absolutely fine. However, Sony is more of a philanthropist than that, and isn’t just fighting for its own profit margins, but for thegood of the world! You see, Sony thinks the PlayStation brand should win this generation because it will be best for the videogame industry at large. How thoughtful! “In an industry that’s certainly had its challenges this year, we like to say that the environment where PlayStation wins is best for this industry,”claimsSCEA boss Jack Tretton, while chatting aboutSkyrocketing PS3 sales....

Psyonix’s upcoming PlayStation Network titleSupersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Carstakes the prize for the longest, most obnoxious name in videogames. It’s so long that I can barely remember it, and I’ve had to glance at the press release at least four times to write that first sentence. We could call itSARPBC, but that sounds a bit like an STD, and we know that’s a sore subject with some of you guys. Get it — “sore”?...

Commenting onL.A. Noireduring a call to investors, Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick said “We certainly don’t want to be subject to [comparing] all of our new releases of new franchises against the extraordinary success ofRed Dead Redemption. Every title stands alone.” However, he continued, “We have every reason to believeL.A. Noireis another strong franchise for this company. No matter how you slice it, it’s a very successful release. To be able to say that again is extraordinary....

Those games that we were having trouble finding in Tokyo just happen to be the two top selling games for the week. The new Media Create sales numbers say that Wii RPGThe Last Storyis the best seller, with almost 115,000 units sold, including those packaged in that yummy new Wii bundle. Sega brings back their SRPG franchise for a second run withValkyria Chronicles 3, and it ranked right behindThe Last Storywith 102,779 units sold....

Last week I received a magical box that allows me to capture gameplay footage from my Xbox 360 and PS3. I’d hoped to do this sooner so that people would realize I’m not just doing retro games, but it’s not like anybody is paying attention anyway, so I can do what I want. I might make the next video aboutBiker Mice From Mars, just because I can. Anyway, this week’s episode is aboutBioShock, so if you want to learn about how 2K Games plagiarized movies, books and TV shows to create it’s so-called “original” game, then you might want to watch it....

The veil of secrecy has been lifted from this week’sRock Banddownloadable content, and theInternet has met the newswith an overwhelming “meh.” From theofficialRock Bandforums: This week at $1.99 (160 Microsoft Points) we have- “Roam” by the B-52’s “We Care A Lot” by Faith No More “Calling Dr. Love” by Kiss Another Kiss song isn’t surprising, but the inclusion of the B-52’s pop hit, “Roam” is a complete curveball. Say what you will about the song, but it’s nice to see that Harmonix aren’t afraid to deliver content that doesn’t necessarily fall into the traditional “rock” category; it’s songs like these that will keep your non-gaming, non-rocking friends into the game for hours....
